My collection isn't all that impressive, but I've got one or two jewels. whee
33's
- Help! (Capitol, Soundtrack Ver.)
I found it at a thrift store for 25 cents. It only had the paper sleeve, but it wasn't for the album. It was for a DIFFERENT Beatles album, and a British pressing, at that!
- Rubber Soul (Capitol, 1972 Pressing)
In great condition, I nabbed it from the record lady at the flea market. The only downer is that since it's an American pressing, it doesn't have 'If I Needed Someone' on it. gonk
- Love Songs (Capitol, Compilation set)
The first Beatles record I bought for myself. Picked it up from the lady I always get them from at the flea market for a decent price. It still had the song book with all the lyrics in it (which made me squee when I found it). There's actually an error on the first record; both sides have the printing for Side 1, instead of with one side with Side 4 info.
- The Beatles "White Album" (Apple)
I actually only have the record that has side 1 and 4 on it. I got it as a gift, and it's barely listenable. Lots of scratches and massive gouges. It's pretty much there just to look pretty. gonk
45's
-She Loves You/ I'll Get You (Swan, '64)
For some reason, young people in the Sixties were compelled to stick things to the middle of their 45's. Like, not even just their name. I had to peel off some WEIRD a** stickers to make this thing look presentable. Plays like a dream, though.
- Twist And Shout/There's A Place (Tollie, '64)
Once again, I want to know what compelled people to write things on their 45's. Oh well... I only want them for listenability, and when there's names and other gunk on the middle, I get them for cheaper!
- My Bonnie/The Saints (MGM, '64)
I died when I found this. I unfortunately couldn't nab it immediately, but a week after I found it, I scrounged up the cash to pick it up. It plays like a DREAM, and the only minor wear and tear is the 'The Saints' side, so I kind of don't care. xp
Solo Stuff
- Extra Texture (Read All About It) (Apple)
I love this record. Not only for it's musical quality, but because of the insert sleeve. Two BEAUTIFUL color photos of George, and you can see him through the title cut out. I won't lie, I may have taken it off the shelf JUST to stare at it from time to time.
- Apple Scruffs/What Is Life (Apple)
There's a bit of a long story with this one. I picked it up without a cinch, but it was the precursor events that make it interesting. A few days prior, I met a bunch of like-minded Fan fiction authors on Mibba. We all got together on MSN, and decided it would be a good idea to collaborate on a story. We decided that the best course of action was to write a story about the 'Apple Scruffs'. (Which, if you don't know what an Apple Scruff is, you REALLY gotta Google that, right now!)
Then I saw this 45 at the flea market for two bucks, and I HAD to pick it up and show it off. blaugh
- Got My Mind Set On You/Lay His Head (Dark Horse)
I got this just because I wanted to rock out with it on my record player. That, and I had never heard of the B-side. I am SO GLAD I got it. I can't find the B-Side ANYWHERE else, and it's such a fantastic song.
- Instant Karma(We All Shine On/Who Has Seen The Wind?
A gift from the same lady who gave me the random half of the White Album. It's in pretty bad shape, but it doesn't skip when you play the Instant Karma side (which to me, is the only side that matters xp ).
I also have a fair collection of other random tid bits.
-'WAR IS OVER' t-shirt
- Fleece blanket
- Yellow Submarine journal
- Olive green t-shirt
- Picture book with rare photos and other interesting factoids
- DVD copy of A Hard Day's Night (That I may or may not watch religiously ninja ).
The only downer to this story is that when I was TEN GODDAMN YEARS OLD, I had Please Please Me, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's, The White Album AND The Red & Blue Compilation records.
Then my 16 year old sister decided it would be GRAND IDEA to take them out of their cases, stack them together and stick them in front of a heat register to MELT THEM ALL TOGETHER. burning_eyes

Doctor Iris Rowley - Rubber Soul (Capitol, 1972 Pressing) In great condition, I nabbed it from the record lady at the flea market. The only downer is that since it's an American pressing, it doesn't have 'If I Needed Someone' on it. gonk
What does this Capitol label look like? If it's what I think it is you might have yourself a valuable collectable on your hands. Reason is, around this time they decided to re-release the US albums with Apple labels and the Capitol label design at the time didn't last long on Beatles re-issues since they were quickly redone on Apple labels.
Quote: - The Beatles "White Album" (Apple) I actually only have the record that has side 1 and 4 on it. I got it as a gift, and it's barely listenable. Lots of scratches and massive gouges. It's pretty much there just to look pretty.
Yeah, this record is ridiculously hard to find in good condition. Most ones I've found had the cover falling apart and were water damaged. I can't even describe how bad the record itself looked. gonk
The one I have is better than most I've seen but I'm still not satisfied with how it looks. (The cover looks awful but the records miraculously have no scratches on them.) I hope to one day to get one in decent condition. |
